Amazing country for your next safari
This was my second visit to Tanzania, the first being in 2017. Would have been back sooner of not for Covid. I have mainly been to the north vising the parks of Mkomazi, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and of course the Serengeti. My main reason for travelling to Tanzania is to see the migration and it hasn't disappointed on either occasion. I am an animal lover and have been blown away by the diversity of the parks and sheer numbers of animals that can be observed. It is like living your own National Geographic documentary. I also must compliment the accommodations I have stayed in. They have all been clean, well-appointed and the staff extremely helpful and friendly. The only down-side is the load shedding with the electricity this trip in Arusha, but the hotel did have a generator which kicked in quickly. The quality and quantity of the food offered at the hotels and the campgrounds and lodges. Lastly but by no means least was the friendliness of the local people (including the local guides), which put me at ease and made the trips that much more pleasant.

A dream comes true
Tanzania is amazing. The people was really friendly and helpful. The landscape are wonderful and every National Park are really different. We visited Serengeti, Ngongoro Crater and Tarangire NP. To see and hear all the animals (incl. Big 5) was really a adventure. The lodges was also comfortable. We will come back!

Absolutely Amazing!
I had an amazing safari tour with my husband in July 2022 in Tanzania. Despite our flight being delayed for over an hour, it was not a problem at all as Justin was always available and reachable. Our driver, Salum, was fantastic! He accompanied us throughout the entire safari and was a wonderful person. When I urgently needed a hairbrush because I had forgotten mine, he even helped us find a store. The safari itself was truly unique, and we saw many incredible animals. We even encountered a herd of elephants crossing the road right in front of us. The guided tour through the forest was also breathtaking. There were waterfalls, springs where we swam, and scenic viewpoints. Visiting the Maasai people was an absolute highlight as we learned a lot and discovered many new things. After the safari, Salum brought us back to Tanzania and even arranged the ferry tickets for us. We then continued our vacation in Zanzibar. Overall, the safari was a 10/10, and I would highly recommend it to everyone! It was a wonderful adventure!!

Spectacular wildlife and beautiful beaches.
The safari tours are fantastic. Drivers/guides are well coordinated with each other ensuring that animal sightings are passed along, giving tourists the best opportunity to see as many animals as possible.
Beaches are beautiful but the harassment from local vendors is intolerable. Locals are friendly until they find out you don't want to give them business or money.
As a woman, make sure you cover up to below the knees (no shorts no matter how hot if you're not on the beach) because the looks you get make you feel like you're a piece of dung at the bottom of a shoe.
Get a hotel close to the main attractions because the driving is insane.

Amazing safaris!
We visited Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti parks. All were so wonderful, wildlife and scenery was amazing. So many different animal and birds! We witnessed the wildebeest migration, and had the opportunity to see a wildebeest river crossing! Services from our operator Gosheni Safaris were perfect, and the different lodges and tented camps we stayed at were really nice, with nice accomodation and food. Services in the lodges and tented camps was very professionnal and friendly. Weather was always nice, about 25-27 deg C. We felt safe everywhere we went. We did the hot air balloon safari in Northern Serengeti; it is really a must; so nice to see animals and landscape from above! Again, Tanzania is such a perfect destination for wildlife and birding; we saw 4 different kind of felines, tons of girafes, elephants, antilope and elk of many kinds monkeys, mongooses etc etc and saw the ''big five'' during our trip. Plus hundreds of magnificent birds, plus the incredible savanna landscape. A really amazing experience!

Diverse, charismatic, stunning scenery and wonderful people and food
Our family had a month of memories we'll never forget - squeezing in to a bjaje/tuc-tuc, eating wonderful fresh fruit, long distance bus journeys with people trying to sell all sorts of stuff every time we stopped, the list goes on. I haven't even mentioned the northern safari circuit and Zanzibar. The slave market in Stone Town was incredibly moving. A great place to explore

Amazing!
We had an amazing time in Tanzania, thanks to our tour operator Savannah Explorers! Seeing the animals in their natural habitat was an awesome experience! We visited several parks and saw soooooo many different animals. After 5 days of game drives, we flew to Zanzibar for 4 days on the beautiful blue beach. Our accommodations were all 5 star and we have no complaints. All of the people we encountered were so nice and welcoming. The weather was perfect, in the low to upper 80’s (F) during the day. Our trip to Tanzania was one of our best trips yet!
